MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621012560 A) filed by Dr. Uday Gudsoorkar; Dr. Venkat P. Patil; and Prof. Vishwadeep Sardar, Maharashtra, on Feb. 5, for 'acoustic impact-based system and method for predictive testing of retreaded truck tyres.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Uday Gudsoorkar; Dr. Venkat P. Patil; and Prof. Vishwadeep Sardar.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a non-destructive inspection system for predictive testing of retreaded truck tyres. The system employs a controlled acoustic impact applied to a tyre surface and captures the resulting acoustic and vibrational response using a circumferentially arranged sensor array. The acquired signals are filtered, processed, and analysed to extract diagnostic features, which are classified using a machine learning model to determine tyre integrity. The system is adaptable to handheld inspection, inline conveyor-based inspection, and rotating drum-based dynamic testing configurations. The invention enables rapid, reliable detection of internal structural defects such as delamination, voids, and weak bonding in retreaded tyres without damaging the tyre, thereby improving safety, quality control, and predictive maintenance."
